Rehabilitation Physicians
Rehabilitation physicians, also known as physiatrists, specialize in restoring function and improving the quality of life for patients with physical impairments or disabilities. They focus on a wide range of conditions, including stroke, spinal cord injuries, and musculoskeletal disorders. Their goal is to help patients regain independence through comprehensive treatment plans that may include physical therapy, medication, and assistive devices.
These physicians work as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with physical therapists, occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals. They assess each patient's needs and develop personalized rehabilitation programs to address specific challenges. By emphasizing a holistic approach, rehabilitation physicians aim to enhance overall well-being and promote recovery.
